I love the wirbelwind & swimmwagens. Are they models?

Hi Chris, thanks for reading. The Wirbelwind is a Roco Minitanks hull with a PE turret with accessories. It came out years before Roco did a Wirbelwind in plastic to go with their updated Panzer IV kit. I don't remember now who made it. Probably ArsenalM or one of those similar European companies that make the high end resin and PE kits. The Swimmwagens are Roco Minitanks and probably 30+ years old.
